Anybody out there thinking of volunteering? And who would you be swapping
with? A MegaBloks fan?

Yea, I got this email too.
No offense to anyone that has decided to participate, but I find this highly
offensive on two counts.
ONE - I am a happily married man that believes there is a special bond that
marriage embodies. A TV show that exploits that is a detriment to a positive,
family-oriented society.
TWO - I am a proud adult LEGO enthusist that believes our hobby is a positive,
family-oriented hobby that may come to be respected at least as much as Model
Railroading one day. A TV show that is seeking to mock and poke fun at our group
is a detriment to our hobby/sub-culture.
I for one will not be watching that show at all. I hope that if you choose to
participate, you will be keenly aware of the producers’ attempts to mock you
(and hence us) on national television.
